According to Bloomberg sources, the EU countries will seek to reach a preliminary agreement on an oil price ceiling before an informal meeting of the leaders of the member countries in Prague on October 6. According to one of the sources, states that have received incentives for oil coming through pipelines will want to make sure that they remain untouched. Countries that import raw materials by sea may try to link the marginal price to an embargo on sea shipments.
